The Sun is an enormous, extraterrestrial body that is many times larger than Earth. Many scientists have referred to it as a massive nuclear reactor that burns numerous amounts of hydrogen; and just like an actual nuclear reactor, hydrogen is the essential fuel in nuclear fusion reactions. The hydrogen in these fusion reactions fuse together to form beryllium, helium, and lithium atoms. “The temperature on the surface of the Sun is approximately six thousand degrees Celsius. While at its core,…

The question of race has been a long debated topic that still has not been answered. Jeffrey Fish embraces this issue in his writing entitled, "Mixed Blood." The document opens by proposing the question of "What is race?", then breaking it down into smaller factions.

causing light surface winds and intense heat that evaporates moisture in the air. Low-latitude or tropical deserts are located between 18 and 28 degrees, the areas centered on the Tropics of Capricorn and Cancer. Since the winds blow north above the equator and south below, the tropical areas seldom experience rain-producing air masses. Latitude/Longitude: 27.7° N; 8.1° W Buffelgrass are very easy to spot because of its physical characteristics. It is a very tall grass that chokes out native…

the tropopause, The tropopause is the boundary in the Earth's atmosphere between the troposphere and the stratosphere. The side must reach the tropopause completely would need to be about 10 kilometres over the poles or over 18 kilometres above the equator. On Earth, there are not mountains that high, but on other planets there are. Furthermore on Earth, most valleys are made by erosion and rivers. If a valley is entirely closed, it cannot be a result of erosion, but…
